I have 865 GBF intel board and had 80 GB pata harddisk. Now I want to change it to 360 GB sata harddisk, but my computer just hangs, and i cannot setup xp. I again tried for 250 GB harddisk, and same problem. I think it doesn't support sata harddisk. Is there anyone who can help me.??Thanks in advance

Caution
Do not use ECC DIMMs with the Desktop Board. Using ECC DIMMs could damage the Desktop Board.Integrator's Notes:

Registered DIMMs are not supported on the Desktop Board.

This Desktop Board has been designed to support DIMMs based on 512 Mbit technology for a maximum onboard capacity of up to 2 GB, but this technology has not been validated on this board.

Note
To be fully compliant with all applicable PCI33 SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance.
hope this helps

i would like to inform you that *********** board supports upto 4 gb ram and 2 gb in 2 slots will be the best combination but depends on the OS you are using if its 32 bit XP or Vista it wont accept more than 3 gb so if you wish to use your system in full throttle mode upgrade you r OS to 64 bit XP or Vista and enjoy all 4gb standards that you actually wish to but even 3 gb is like playing with wild fire that will be really too fast processing speed and thrilling performance that you expect.

There's not really a limit to how big a harddisk you can support. The only thing that can restrict you is the connection, because, for obvious reasons, you can't connect a SATA disk to an old IDE board, but it seems like you're aware of that.
